El Guapo's Ghost Rambles on about the Red Sox

I thought before I began commenting on current Red Sox and baseball happenings, I should discuss the title of my blog. El guapo in Spanish means the pretty one. It also is the nickname of a 300+lb. former middle relief pitcher of the Boston Red Sox, Rich Garces. El Guapo was one of the best at providing effective relief in the critical sixth to eighth innings for the Red Sox from 1998 to 2001. But the other reason I like him so much is that I found great humor in watching an unusual professional baseball player dispatch many other regular looking professional ballplayers. El Guapo retired before this season began. I am going to try to live up to the memory of El Guapo through this blog site by hopefully providing interesting baseball commentary from an unusual source.
